It's been a couple years since his last, the triumphant <i>Grand Budapest Hotel</i>, and now we know that he's chosen to follow up that triumph with his second run at stop motion animation after 2009's underwhelming <i>The Fantastic Mr Fox</i>. Fortunately, if the trailer is anything to go by, <i>Isle of Dogs</i> seems like an altogether different beast; less Beatrix Potter meets <i>Oceans 11</i> and more George Orwell getting the contemporary Anime treatment. It seems to be set in a near future dystopian Japan where all the dogs have been banished to a trash island, where they have apparently learned to speak English. It's definitely at the top of my Must See list for 2018!<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/r8FGEYGdhyc/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/r8FGEYGdhyc?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><br /></div>Jerky LeBoeufhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06022293362312800819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667944064156340206.post-66740934131434814132017-09-24T10:33:00.004-07:002017-09-24T10:33:57.744-07:00NEW GIALLO FROM THE MAKERS OF 'AMER'Fans of gorgeously baroque, violent grindhouse/arthouse cinema, rejoice!

In the main, I believe this lifelong beef was initially triggered by seven words: “Clearly I remember picking on the boy.”<br /><br />Within the context of the song "Jeremy", it was a <i>de facto</i> declaration that Eddie Vedder--the band's lead singer, who also happens to have a perfect bully’s name--placed himself squarely on the side of the Normals, the Jocks, the Popular Kids, the In Crowd.<br /><br />And the rest of the lyrics aren't much better. The song starts out with some dime-store psychoanalysis, chock-a-block with a teetering pile of hastily lashed-together cliches, to which the obviously expensive and equally embarrassing video adds a number that remain unsung.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">At home<br /> Drawing pictures<br /> Of mountain tops<br /> With him on top<br /> Lemon yellow sun<br /> Arms raised in a V<br />Dead lay in pools of maroon below<br /> <br />Daddy didn't give attention<br />To the fact that mommy didn't care<br /> King Jeremy the wicked<br /> Ruled his world</blockquote><br />Troubled kid draws disturbing shit, yes. Daddy is a big empty suit, uh-huh. Yeah. Running shirtless through the woods. Yes, yes. "An affluent suburb", yes. "It is very relevant in America today", yes, of course. And yes, big angry wolf devouring sad lonely boy. And all, or most of it, is Mommy's fault. And Eddie behind it all, rocking himself back and forth as his eyes roll back, up into his skull, every muscle in his face a-twitch with dynamic tension, his hands flashing obscure signs in the air... Deep, man.<br /><br />WOW, does that video ever suck. I'm sure Vedder must find it excruciating to watch today. Hell, maybe this video is what made the band decide to <i>never ever make videos ever again</i> (a promise they've mostly kept). What possible artistic justification could there be for the way Vedder contorts his face like that? He goes through a series of grimacing expressions, equal parts painful and goofy, that would make Jim Carrey cringe.<br /><br />Anyway, back to the song, where we're just getting to the good parts...<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Clearly I remember picking on the boy<br />He seemed a harmless little fuck<br />But we unleashed a lion<br />Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast<br />How could I forget?<br />And he hit me with a surprise left<br />My jaw left hurting, dropped wide open<br />Just like the day, oh, like the day I heard&nbsp;</blockquote><br />Vedder puts himself at the center of the action, having the unmitigated audacity to make <i>himself</i> the subject of a song that is supposed to be about a boy who commits a brutal, public suicide in the middle of a packed classroom. This, after essentially confessing to being one of the bullies who causes Jeremy’s suicidal hopelessness!<br /><br />Consider the casual cruelty implicit in the lyrics above. If Jeremy was such a harmless little fuck, then what possible reason could Vedder (or whoever Vedder is meant to be voicing for the duration of this song) have for tormenting him into killing himself?<br /><br />Furthermore, Vedder seems to relish reliving his "fight" with Jeremy. He sounds almost prideful as he recalls how he helped to "unleash a lion", and indulges in a muscle memory re-enactment of the fight, swinging his fists and pulling angry faces in a way that is bound to be familiar to anyone who's ever run afoul of an angry jock in high school.<br /><br />And finally, adding one final insult to a long list of injuries--which ends, we are again wont to point out, with a young man killing himself--Vedder has the gall to link the surprise he felt at Jeremy fighting back (his jaw dropped) with the surprise he felt upon hearing that Jeremy had committed suicide in front of his classmates (his jaw dropped).<br /><br />And then, the song ends with the following verbal flourish:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">TRY to forget this! (TRY to forget this)<br />TRY to erase this! (TRY to erase this)<br />From the blackboard...</blockquote>It's not "think about Jeremy, what happened to him, what he did"; it's "think about this awesome, kick-ass anecdote I just laid on you, dude... TRY to forget that shit!" It's the prideful boast of a bully using the tragedy of his victim's ultimate act of self-negation to make himself seem cooler, more dangerous, in the listener's mind.<br /><br />The lyrics to "Jeremy" are the ultimate expression of the kind of solipsistic narcissism that leads some people to try and make themselves the central focus of whatever public tragedy is going down.<br /><br />Think back a couple decades, back to heyday of schoolhouse massacres. In "Jeremy", Vedder is the equivalent of all those telegenic teens who either sought, or were sought out by, local TV news cameras, whereupon they would tearfully relate their gripping (and frequently exaggerated) tales about coming face to face with the killers in the hallway, only to be saved by a miraculous gun jam, or about how a passing bullet came so close it combed a new part in their hair, or about how they calmly tried to talk the killer down only to be rebuffed with a diabolical cackle and a command to “SAY YOU LOVE SATAN!”<br /><br />All this, even as the bodies of actual victims, dead children, are being carried out of the building behind them on stretchers, literal collateral damage for what will eventually become the war stories around which they will assemble the pieces of their public self image; their life’s story... their personal "brand".<br /><br />It’s all about me, even when it isn’t.<br /><br />And what of Jeremy? The kid about whom this song would <i>really</i> be, if Vedder were any kind of poet? Well... Jeremy shares more than a little in common with Vedder’s Pacific North West Grunge Rock competition, Kurt Cobain, doesn’t he?<br /><br />Consider, for example, the slim literary virtues of “Jeremy” in comparison to the stark perfection of Nirvana’s “Something in the Way”. Cobain manages to convey so much with so little. Even the chorus, which consists simply of the words “something in the way” repeated eight times with a kind of call-and-response emotional counterpoint, manages to convey a sort of narrative drive.<br /><br />Of course, Cobain is dead now, and Pearl Jam continues to tour. They were even inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, by none other than David Letterman, a last minute replacement for Neil Young.<br /><br />Ah, what do I know, anyway... Maybe Eddie Vedder is really a very nice guy. The band sure stuck to their guns in their fight with Ticketmaster, that's for sure. You can't really get the full measure of a band that's been around, and productive, for almost 30 years from just one bad song. It's not Pearl Jam's fault that "Jeremy" struck a chord in the popular imagination...<br /><br />But jeez oh man, is it EVER a garbage song.Jerky LeBoeufhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06022293362312800819noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667944064156340206.post-15076017776820443572017-09-17T10:39:00.000-07:002017-09-17T10:39:54.322-07:00STREAM THE NEW GODSPEED YOU!

This exposition comes in a scene with FBI deputy director Gordon Cole, Albert Rosenfield and agent Tammy Preston sipping fine wine while seated in a private room at a hotel in Buckhorn, South Dakota, surrounded by red curtains (reminiscent of the mysterious Red Room itself), Albert explains Blue Rose is a secret extension of the now-closed, real-world Project Blue Book conducted by the U.S. Air Force to investigate UFO phenomena.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed9waOPCE6c/WZ06d1ZrCSI/AAAAAAAAJNU/hMmhKn7UuC02IDURLd7XgbNVoIaE-xqzwCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/01%2Balbert%2Bgordon%2Btammy%2Bblue%2Brose%2Breveal%2Bscene.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ed9waOPCE6c/WZ06d1ZrCSI/AAAAAAAAJNU/hMmhKn7UuC02IDURLd7XgbNVoIaE-xqzwCK4BGAYYCw/s400/01%2Balbert%2Bgordon%2Btammy%2Bblue%2Brose%2Breveal%2Bscene.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />As the Air Force describes in it's own documentation, some of which is now publicly available through the Freedom of Information Act and quoted here from Wikipedia:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Project Blue Book was one of a series of systematic studies of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) conducted by the United States Air Force. It started in 1952, and it was the third study of its kind (the first two were projects&nbsp;<b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Sign" target="_blank">Sign</a></b>&nbsp;(1947) and&nbsp;<b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Grudge" target="_blank">Grudge</a></b>&nbsp;(1949)). A termination order was given for the study in December 1969, and all activity under its auspices ceased in January 1970.<br />Project Blue Book had two goals:<br />1 To determine if UFOs were a threat to national security, and<br />2 To scientifically analyze UFO-related data.”</blockquote>Prior to this revelation in Part 12 of&nbsp;<i>The Return</i>, fan-favorite character Maj. Garland Briggs from&nbsp;<i>Twin Peaks</i>&nbsp;original two seasons was the show's clearest connection to Project Blue Book and how the classified Air Force investigation connects to the White and Black Lodges of Twin Peaks lore.<br /><br />Following a mysterious disappearance in Season 2 in the original run, upon which we will touch in greater detail later on, Briggs tells Cooper that even though Project Blue Book was disbanded, “There are those of us who continue in an unofficial capacity, examining the heavens as before, or in the case of Twin Peaks, the earth below. We are searching for a place called the White Lodge.”<br /><br />Back in The Return, Albert explains to Agent Preston that Blue Book was shut down in 1970 as part of a “cover-up” that concluded the UFO phenomenon was not credible, and there was no resulting threat to national security.<br /><br />“A few years later, the military and FBI formed a top secret task force to explore the troubling abstractions raised by cases Blue Book failed to resolve,” Albert explains. “We call it, 'The Blue Rose,' after a phrase uttered by a woman involved in one of these cases just before she died., which suggested these hazards could not be reached except by an alternate path we have been traveling ever since.”<br /><br />Albert goes on to name the agents involved in this secret task force created by Cole – himself, lead agent Phillip Jeffries, Chet Desmond and the original show's main character, Dale Cooper. All of the special agents involved in Blue Rose, excepting Albert and Cole, have since disappeared. All this exposition is by way of recruiting&nbsp;<i>The Return</i>'s newest FBI agent, Preston, into the fold of the Blue Rose task force. And thus we have the first explicit delineation from Project Blue Book straight to Blue Rose and the strange, occult aspects that surround the FBI's investigation into the murder of Laura Palmer in the Washington town of Twin Peaks (in the original TV series) and the murder of Teresa Banks in nearby Dear Meadow (in the film&nbsp;<i>Fire Walk With Me</i>).<br /><br />While the original&nbsp;<i>Twin Peaks</i>&nbsp;run of 1990-921 owes much of its nostalgic love to its soap-opera-style story-lines, Cooper's frequent references to “damn fine coffee,” “the best cherry pie in the tri-counties,” and scenes like Audrey Horne engaged in a strange and seductive dance to music composed by Lynch collaborator Angelo Badalamenti, it is the lore and mystery of Twin Peaks that always attracted me most. And while this aspect of the story was certainly included in the original run of the series, it was never as prominent on ABC prime-time as it was later on in the show's darker, stranger cousin, Lynch's 1992 film&nbsp;<i>Fire Walk With Me</i>&nbsp;(which was my introduction to the world of Twin Peaks). Nothing in the Twin Peaks ecosphere compares to the dark strangeness of&nbsp;<i>Fire Walk With Me</i>&nbsp;(which was originally intended as a series of three films; however, part two and three were never filmed because of the poor critical and financial reception to its first installment). While the inability of Lynch to continue the story in the 1990s was certainly disappointing to hardcore fans, without that failure, we may not have ever been able to experience 2017's revival of Twin Peaks via&nbsp;<i>The Return</i>, in which Lynch and Frost have continued their legacy of breaking new ground in television entertainment.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MkE2T01kEGo/WZ060DZM2RI/AAAAAAAAJNc/W8sGqcH_efU7gJ6k3y2YbzU78dzEBBu8gCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/02_2twinpeaks%2Balien%2Bgrey%2Bandys%2Bwhite%2Blodge%2Bvision%2Bcolorized.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="195" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MkE2T01kEGo/WZ060DZM2RI/AAAAAAAAJNc/W8sGqcH_efU7gJ6k3y2YbzU78dzEBBu8gCK4BGAYYCw/s400/02_2twinpeaks%2Balien%2Bgrey%2Bandys%2Bwhite%2Blodge%2Bvision%2Bcolorized.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><b>OUTSIDE OF TIME AND SPACE</b><br /><div><br />Of the many oddities in Twin Peaks, the Black Lodge and its denizens, Bob, The One-Armed Man (aka Mike/Phillip Gerard) and The Man From Another Place (aka the arm) are it's most persistent and vexing. Where do they come from? What is their purpose? While there are many theories surrounding Twin Peaks culture about the meaning and origin of this place and its inhabitants, most of them ignore the connection to Project Blue Book, UFO phenomena and the possibility of alien life. My analysis will attempt to connect the line from Blue Book to Blue Rose, from the idea of UFO encounters and alien visitors to inhabiting spirits like Bob and his cohorts.<br /><br />To understand this, we must first reconsider the popular conception of aliens – we are not speaking here about extraterrestrial beings in the sense depicted in Steven Spielberg's films&nbsp;<i>E.T.</i>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<i>Close Encounters of the Third Kind</i>. These are not little green men in flying saucers, nor necessarily “Greys,” “Reptilians,” “Nordics,” nor any of the other alien races promulgated by popular culture shows like Coast to Coast AM. (although some images in&nbsp;<i>The Return</i>&nbsp;do bear a striking resemblance to the alien “grey,” notably the being credited as “The Experiment/Mother” in Part Eight, the being in the black box in Part One, and the first scene in Andy's vision from Part Fourteen).<br /><br />Instead, we are speaking of aliens as inter/extra-dimensional beings that inhabit our world and adjacent worlds unseen, the type of spirits discussed in dozens of Hindu and Buddhist legends, and, most eloquently in 'western' society, by well-known UFO researcher and PhD Jacques Vallée. Vallée, not coincidentally, was the inspiration for Spielberg's character Claude Lacombe, played in Spielberg's film&nbsp;<i>Close Encounters</i>&nbsp;by François Truffaut.<br /><br />In an interview with Jeffrey Mishlove on the public television program Thinking Allowed, Vallée discusses his 1979 book&nbsp;<i>Messengers of Deception</i>:<br /><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">From my own point of view, I'm going to be very disappointed if UFOs turn out to be nothing more than visitors from another planet, because I think they could be something much more interesting...&nbsp;I think what the UFO phenomenon is teaching us is that we don't understand time and space. Here are objects, I think we have to call them objects, that are physical, that interact with the environment, that cause effects on the witnesses, on the psychology and physiology of the witnesses and leave traces on the ground, and yet are capable, appear to be capable of manipulating time and space in ways that go beyond what our physics understands today.</blockquote>He references frequently recorded effects of UFO encounters on witnesses that resonate with some of the phenomena in Twin Peaks, such as a loss of the sense of space/orientation, loss of a sense of time, physiological effects such as sunburns and damage to the eyes (conjunctivitis, temporary blindness, etc.) and instances wherein the healing process for certain physical ailments seems to have been sped up.<br /><br />In many of his later works, Vallée continued to explore the hypothesis that alien visitors are not coming to Earth from other star systems in “nuts and bolts” spacecraft, but, rather, are inter-dimensional beings coming from a separate but parallel universe (or universes) to ours.

[The Giant, as he is referred to throughout the original series, is revealed in Part 14 of&nbsp;<i>The Return</i>&nbsp;to be named The Fireman.]<br /><br />In the following episode, the Season 2 premier, Cooper's body lies on the floor of his room at The Great Northern hotel with a bullet in his abdomen. Cooper, in a dream-like state, is visited by The Giant, who tells him three things: “there is a man in a smiling bag,” “the owls are not what the seem,” and “without chemicals, he points.”<br /><br />As the season proceeds, we discover “a man in a smiling bag” is a reference to Jacques Renault's corpse in a body bag at the morgue. “Without chemicals, he points” is a reference to Phillip Gerard, aka “Mike”, aka “the One-Armed Man,” who is inhabited by a spirit who used to be a companion of Bob, and who joined Bob in his murderous deeds until (he claims) he saw God and removed his arm, somehow freeing himself of their bond. The spirit within Gerard reveals himself when he fails to take his medication, Haloperidol (often prescribed to patients diagnosed with schizophrenia), or as the case in Episode 6 of Season 2, is deliberately deprived of it during an interrogation.&nbsp;</div><div><br />Absent the effects of the drug, Mike explains he is an inhabiting spirit, and Gerard is his host. This exchange follows:<br /><br /><b>Cooper:</b>&nbsp;Who is Bob?<br /><b>Mike:</b>&nbsp;He was my familiar.<br /><b>Cooper:</b>&nbsp;Where does he come from?<br /><b>Mike:</b>&nbsp;That cannot be revealed.<br /><b>Cooper:</b>&nbsp;What does Bob want?<br /><b>Mike:</b>&nbsp;He is Bob; Eager for fun; He wears a smile; Everybody run.&nbsp;Do you understand the parasite? It attaches itself to a life form and feeds. Bob requires a human host. He feeds on fear, and the pleasures. They are his children. I am similar to Bob. We once were partners. Through the darkness of future past; the magician longs to see; one chance out between two worlds; fire walk with me. But then I saw the face of God, and was purified. I took of the arm, but remained close to this vessel. Inhabiting from time to time for one single purpose.<br /><b>Cooper:</b>&nbsp;To find Bob?<br /><b>Mike:</b>&nbsp;To stop him. This is his true face, but few can see it: the gifted, and the damned.<br /><br />Asked if Bob is nearby, Mike replies, “For nearly 40 years,” and reveals Bob is currently at “a large house made of wood, surrounded by trees and filled with many rooms, each alike, but occupied with different souls night after night.” Cooper deduces Bob is at the Great Northern Hotel, and in the following episode Cooper, sheriff Truman and the rest of the gang make their arrest of Leland Palmer.<br /><br />The iconic scene, wherein Bob reveals his presence within Leland and confesses to the murders of Laura and Maddy, then follows. The mystery of the owls, however, is never fully explained.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QiJk20_96K4/WZ07OGoCNWI/AAAAAAAAJN0/JBPHSvErgDgsTtgsSB4k0uh2ehwhk4pggCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/03twinpeaks%2Bowl.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QiJk20_96K4/WZ07OGoCNWI/AAAAAAAAJN0/JBPHSvErgDgsTtgsSB4k0uh2ehwhk4pggCK4BGAYYCw/s400/03twinpeaks%2Bowl.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><b>MORE ON THE OWLS</b><br /><br />Previously, in Episode 5 of Season One, Cooper joined Hawk and Truman on a hike that takes them past the Log Lady's home on their way to the cabin where Jacques Renault and Leo had sex with Laura just before her death. Log Lady (Margaret Lanterman) tells the trio they are “late,” then invites them for a cup of tea, after which she describes what her log saw on the night of Laura's death. Among the information the log provides about that night is the phrase, “The owls are moving.” [Margaret believes the log is inhabited by the spirit of her late husband, who died in a fire]<br /><br />The owls are mentioned again after Margaret speaks with Maj. Briggs while sitting at the counter of the Double R Diner in Season 2, Episode 2. After commenting on the “shiny objects” on Briggs' uniform, she tells him that her log has “something to tell him.”<br /><br />“Deliver the message,” she says, translating for the log. “Do you understand?”<br /><br />“Yes ma'am, as a matter of fact I do,” Briggs replies.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K2VmW3qih1c/WZ07m1MTYsI/AAAAAAAAJN8/AkcUhcyf_48jAR5VWZIvf2rolRbRoJlfgCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/07briggs%2Blog%2Blady%2Bdiner.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="295" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K2VmW3qih1c/WZ07m1MTYsI/AAAAAAAAJN8/AkcUhcyf_48jAR5VWZIvf2rolRbRoJlfgCK4BGAYYCw/s400/07briggs%2Blog%2Blady%2Bdiner.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />In this same episode, Briggs visits Cooper at The Great Northern Hotel to deliver the message as instructed by the log. He shows Cooper a printout of a mysterious message intercepted at his air force listening station in Ghostwood Forest, around the time Cooper was shot. Among a jumble of apparently nonsensical letters and numbers is again, the phrase, “The owls are not what they seem,” followed later in the morning by three appearances of “Cooper” in the transcript.<br /><br />In addition to these specific mentions, shots of owls appear in several ominous scenes throughout the original two seasons, either perched on branches or flying through the woods, usually in connection with strange events associated with the Lodges. They seem to function as watchmen – observers on behalf of the entities that inhabit the unseen realms, and especially the Black Lodge. Notably, owls are shown immediately before Bob seems to exit the Black Lodge portal into our world in the final episode of the second season, and in conjunction with the disappearance of Major Briggs in Season 2, episode 10.<br /><br />While on a camping trip with Cooper, Briggs remains at the campsite while Cooper is relieving 'the call of nature' some ways away, when an owl hoots and a bright light envelopes the campsite. A dark figure appears in the distance, Briggs cries out Cooper's name, and then disappears. When Cooper returns to the campsite, there is no trace of the Major.<br /><br />Immediately prior to this event, Cooper tells Briggs that he finds himself thinking a lot about Bob and if he truly exists, imagining him incarnate and searching for another victim to inhabit. Briggs says he has been pondering the same thing, and adds:<br /><br />“There are powerful forces of evil. It is some men's fate to face great darkness. We each choose how to react. If the choice is fear, then we become vulnerable to darkness. There are ways to resist. You sir, were blessed with certain gifts. In this respect, you're not alone. Have you ever heard of the White Lodge?”<br /><br />“The White Lodge? No, I don't believe I ever have,” Cooper says.<br /><br />Cooper then announces he must take a moment to relieve himself, with the conversation to continue momentarily. But of course, they have no such opportunity.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_ZZpChFbJ5k/WZ07r2bRitI/AAAAAAAAJOE/pKqvPdl-g889jmqMRiOgj8OKsyk7BPWLgCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/08briggs%2Bin%2Blight%2Bdisapperance.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_ZZpChFbJ5k/WZ07r2bRitI/AAAAAAAAJOE/pKqvPdl-g889jmqMRiOgj8OKsyk7BPWLgCK4BGAYYCw/s400/08briggs%2Bin%2Blight%2Bdisapperance.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Maj. Briggs later reappears in Episode 12 of the second season, as his son, Bobby, speaks to his mother at their home and shares a story of a vision his father told him about several episodes prior.<br /><br />Briggs vision of Bobby:&nbsp;</div><div><blockquote class="tr_bq">This was a vision, fresh and clear as a mountain stream, The mind revealing itself to itself. In my vision, I was on the veranda of a vast estate, a palazzo of some fantastic proportion. There seemed to emanate from it a light from within, this gleaming, radiant marble.<br />I'd known this place. I had in fact been born and raised there. This was my first return.<br />A reunion with the deepest well-springs of my being.<br />Wandering about, I noticed happily that the house had been immaculately maintained.<br />There'd been added a number of additional rooms, but in a way that blended so seamlessly with the original construction, one would never detect any difference. Returning to the house's grand foyer, there came a knock at the door. My son was standing there. He was happy and carefree, clearly living a life of deep harmony and joy. We embraced, a warm and loving embrace, nothing withheld. We were, in this moment, one. My vision ended and I awoke with a tremendous feeling of optimism and confidence in you and your future. That was my vision of you. I'm so glad to have had this opportunity to share it with you. I wish you nothing but the very best in all things.</blockquote>Upon his return after the campsite disappearance, Briggs asks his wife how long he has been gone. “Two days,” his wife says. “Strange. Seemed much shorter,” Briggs replies, alluding to the altered perception of time coincident with UFO experiences and alternate dimensions.<br /><br />We do not know where Maj. Briggs went during this 48-hour disappearance following the camping trip with Cooper, though we may conclude it had something to do with the existence of the Lodges.<br /><br />Speaking to Cooper and Truman in Episode 13 of Season Two, Briggs' says, he remembers “stepping from the flames, a vague shape in the dark, then nothing until I found myself standing by the coal remains of our campfire two days later.”<br /><br /><b>Cooper:</b>&nbsp;Major, there are some new techniques that might help us break through your amnesia.<br /><b>Briggs:</b>&nbsp;<i>My memories are immune from regression. I can feel them. They're palpable, the smells, the sensation. Everything is known to me, yet somehow beyond my reach.</i><br /><b>Cooper:</b>&nbsp;Do you remember anything else?<br /><b>Briggs:</b>&nbsp;<i>Very little, save for one disturbing image of a giant owl, pervasive.</i><br /><b>Cooper:</b>&nbsp;A giant owl? How big?<br /><b>Briggs:</b>&nbsp;<i>Enough to cloud my mind and memory.</i><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KhQDNKgCkW8/WZ07wY4mJAI/AAAAAAAAJOM/4kVKNJTro-MNBKp4QKIQxceykOxKzLaSwCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/06Twin%2BPeaks%2Bflying%2Bowl.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KhQDNKgCkW8/WZ07wY4mJAI/AAAAAAAAJOM/4kVKNJTro-MNBKp4QKIQxceykOxKzLaSwCK4BGAYYCw/s400/06Twin%2BPeaks%2Bflying%2Bowl.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Doctor Hayward, who is giving Briggs a physical examination, notes he now has “three triangular scars behind the right ear in perfect proportion,” another clue that connects to the physical signs sometimes reported following UFO abduction experiences. Interestingly, this scene with Briggs post-disappearance interview is immediately preceded by an image of stars in space, during which a voice whispers, “Cooper,” and a three-pronged symbol strikingly similar to that used to mark nuclear test sites comes spinning toward the screen and dissolves into flames.<br /><br /><b>OWLS IN THE UFO COMMUNITY</b></div><div>Owls have long been associated with UFO phenomena and abduction events, synchronicity and other high weirdness, such as the Mothman sightings of West Virginia in the 1960s and 70s, the abduction encounters of Whitley Strieber in his book&nbsp;<i>Communion</i>&nbsp;(among others), and the mysterious rituals performed by the rich and powerful “elites” in Bohemian Grove. It is not clear when the first modern association was made between owls and UFOs, but&nbsp;<b><a href="http://www.owlpages.com/owls/articles.php?a=63" target="_blank">owls have been connected in many cultures throughout history with knowledge and wisdom</a></b>, and also have been believed to be signs of good fortune, or conversely, as unlucky omens and harbingers of death.<br /><br />One of the most prominent researchers associated with the subject of owls and UFOs is Mike Clelland, author of&nbsp;<i>The Messengers: Owls, Synchronicity and the UFO Abductee</i>, in which he describes his own abduction experiences and association with owls, and shares similar accounts based on interviews with numerous other individuals who have experienced owl associations in conjunction with UFO or alien encounters.<br /><br />In his book, Clelland relates stories regarding the apparent use of owls as implanted “screen memories” to hide abduction experiences related to UFO encounters, as well as his own and others' strange experiences of synchronistic events coinciding with the appearance of owls:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">I have a set of memories from my youth that paint a disturbing picture. As a 12 year old boy, I had a very clear UFO sighting at night. A few months later I had a two-hour missing time experience with an associated odd orange flash in the sky. And in the winter of 1993 I once woke to see five spindly gray aliens with big black eyes out my bedroom window. This is a short list of some of my more overt experiences. I’ve also had plenty of less overt episodes like psychic impressions, hyper-vivid predictive dreams, an obsession with UFOs and profound synchronicities.<br /><br />All that said, I had spent the first 44 years of my life actively denying that there was anything unusual about these heavy-handed experiences. But at the same time there was a building pressure. I recognized what it all pointed to, but I was working hard to ignore the implications. There came a point when I knew I needed to look into what I suspected might be at play in my life.&nbsp;<i>The owl sightings with Kristen came in September of 2006. This was exactly the point in my life when I was wrestling with all those confusing experiences and their UFO implications. These memories were in the forefront of my mind and those weird owl episodes with Kristen felt like an alarm in my head screaming, “This is real!&nbsp;You are a UFO abductee!”</i></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">This connection might seem illogical, but there was a very real sense of knowing within that moment. I could feel it. It took great strength to put the lid on that voice in my head and hide it away. The problem was that the owl sightings continued and the pressure kept building.&nbsp;<i>It was easy to ignore all my UFO experiences, I mean, those just seemed absurd. But I couldn’t ignore what was happening with all the owls. When someone is deeply asleep whispering won’t wake them. Sometimes you have to really shake them. If that doesn’t work, send in the owls. The owls came in tandem with a set of insanely powerful synchronicities, so much so that they seem intertwined. From my direct experience there is a blurry line between synchronicity and owls. I don’t think a mere mortal could untangle these arcane threads, so I won’t even try. I was stuck and the owls changed me. The person I once was is gone and it was the owls that pushed me over that cliff.</i></blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ayLAD3NWcRo/WZ08Uv5MphI/AAAAAAAAJOs/vsCaFkI-UMAyH0wmVWwaPIIGqYw50L-NwCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/09cooper%2Bhawk%2Blodge%2Bdiscussion.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="295" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ayLAD3NWcRo/WZ08Uv5MphI/AAAAAAAAJOs/vsCaFkI-UMAyH0wmVWwaPIIGqYw50L-NwCK4BGAYYCw/s400/09cooper%2Bhawk%2Blodge%2Bdiscussion.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><b>DOPPELGANGERS, SHADOW-SELVES AND THE LODGES</b><br /><br />As noted earlier, our first introduction to the Lodges in the original Twin Peaks TV series comes in Episode 10 of Season 2, immediately before Maj. Briggs disappears..<br /><br />In the following episode, Cooper asks his friends at the sheriff's office if anyone has ever heard of the White Lodge.<br /><br />Deputy Hawk, a member of the Nez-Perce tribe, offers this ominous answer:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Cooper, you may be fearless in this world, but there are other worlds. &nbsp;My people believe&nbsp;<i>the White Lodge is a place where the spirits that rule man and nature reside. There is also a legend of a place called the Black Lodge – the shadow self of the White Lodge. The legend says that every spirit must pass through there on the way to perfection. There, you will meet your own shadow-self. My people call it, 'the dweller on the threshold.' But it is said, if you confront the Black Lodge with imperfect courage, it will utterly annihilate your soul.</i></blockquote>This shadow-self, or “dweller on the threshold,” as Hawk describes, appears as a doppelganger – that is, a being identical in appearance and knowledge to the original, but apparently possessed of one's own worst thoughts and instincts. We meet Cooper's doppelganger when he enters another realm through a portal in Ghostwood National Forest in the finale of&nbsp;<i>Twin Peaks'</i>&nbsp;second, and until recently, final, season.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i23KQiZngEo/WZ0722hjXEI/AAAAAAAAJOU/GlhvV-kt3sY8FZGjp1paXBQwOkxRjwRXgCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/04giant%2Bhappening%2Bagain%2Bstill.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="220" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i23KQiZngEo/WZ0722hjXEI/AAAAAAAAJOU/GlhvV-kt3sY8FZGjp1paXBQwOkxRjwRXgCK4BGAYYCw/s400/04giant%2Bhappening%2Bagain%2Bstill.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Prior to this, Cooper experiences what appears to be the White Lodge, or at least interacts with one of its residents, several times in dreams and visions, such as when the Giant appears to him after he is shot in his hotel room, and in the final episode of Season 2, when the Giant appears on stage during the Miss Twin Peaks contest to warn him, “It is happening again.”<br /><br />Cooper then enters the Black Lodge in an effort to stop Windom Earle and rescue his new love, Annie. There he encounters both Bob and his doppelganger, and seemingly fails to exhibit the perfect courage necessary to conquer his own darker nature, which results in his entrapment in the lodge for 25 years and the escape of his doppelganger, who takes Cooper's place in our world. The series ends with his doppelganger (often referred to by&nbsp;<i>The Return</i>&nbsp;audience as “Dark Coop,” “Evil Coop,” “Mr. C,” or “doppelCooper” entering the bathroom of his hotel room, squeezing a tube of toothpaste into the sink (perhaps experiencing a connection to the flesh now that he has exited the spirit world) and bashing his head against the mirror, breaking it, while he maniacally repeats the phrase “How's Annie?”&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZnIUw2-qv6A/WZ08ZqXwptI/AAAAAAAAJO0/lBZCYpTMok0xcnvsy7-QMm6eyWN8HL0-QCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/13cooper%2Bdoppleganger%2Bmirror%2Bsmash.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZnIUw2-qv6A/WZ08ZqXwptI/AAAAAAAAJO0/lBZCYpTMok0xcnvsy7-QMm6eyWN8HL0-QCK4BGAYYCw/s400/13cooper%2Bdoppleganger%2Bmirror%2Bsmash.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />It is important to point out we do not really know the place Cooper enters at the end of Season Two is in fact the Black Lodge. It is often referred by the audience as the “Red Room,” but the only name we are given in the show itself comes from The Arm, when he tells Cooper “This is The Waiting Room.” Some viewers speculate that the waiting room is separate from the Lodges entirely; I believe, however, that the Waiting Room and the Black Lodge are likely the same place. Since Hawk tells us all souls must pass through the Black Lodge prior to entering the White Lodge, it makes sense that the waiting room is this place, where Cooper must defeat his shadow-self and become purified before he can move on. Indeed, the mere presence of his doppelganger/shadow-self seems to indicate The Waiting Room and the Black Lodge are one and the same.<br /><br />Of course, so much of this is mere speculation. While some aspects of Twin Peaks mythology are more explicitly illuminated in Mark Frost's novel,&nbsp;<i>The Secret History of Twin Peaks</i>, I have deliberately avoided including excerpts from the book due to the seemingly-changing nature of Twin Peaks mysteries, as well as my personal preference to rely on the lore that comes from Frost's collaboration with David Lynch and Lynch's powerful use of imagery to give life to the Twin Peaks story in a way the written word simply cannot emulate.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u8l67oU5Ooc/WZ08syQayYI/AAAAAAAAJPE/bKnrDK3edRAA45Oaayv4IJBX0AC3ECRHgCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/the%2Bred%2Broom.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u8l67oU5Ooc/WZ08syQayYI/AAAAAAAAJPE/bKnrDK3edRAA45Oaayv4IJBX0AC3ECRHgCK4BGAYYCw/s400/the%2Bred%2Broom.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Speaking of “bringing to life,” Part 14 of&nbsp;<i>The Return</i>&nbsp;also gives us an explicit reference to a Tibetan Buddhism concept of the “tulpa” in relation to the doppelgangers that appear in the FBI's Blue Rose cases. In fact, we learn in Albert's conversation with Agent Preston that the phrase “blue rose” was uttered by the first doppelganger encountered by the men who would become the founding members of the Blue Rose task force. As Albert explains, Cole and Jeffries were young field agents in 1975 investigating a murder in Olympia, Washington.&nbsp;</div><blockquote class="tr_bq">They arrived at a motel to arrest a woman named Lois Duffy when they heard a gunshot from inside. They find two women inside; one on the floor, dying from a bullet wound to the abdomen. The other holds a gun, which she drops as she backs away when they enter. They recognize the wounded woman as Lois Duffy.&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">&nbsp;She speaks her last words to them: “I'm like the blue rose.” She smiles, then dies. Then disappears before their eyes. &nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">The other woman screaming in the corner, they now notice, is also Lois Duffy. By the way, Lois Duffy does not have a twin sister. Then, while awaiting trial for a murder she swore she didn't commit, this Lois hangs herself.&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">Preston divines the “blue rose” utterance is a reference to the dying Duffy's artificiality, as a blue rose does not appear in nature.<br /><br />“The dying woman was not natural Conjured. What's the word.... a tulpa,” Preston says.</blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qVRPyYOqYhw/WZ08kogzceI/AAAAAAAAJO8/wEZYMLEuU3EG33yIu7vB8eDaKNi-0DuxwCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/11Twin%2BPeaks%2BReturn%2Bevil%2Bcoop.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qVRPyYOqYhw/WZ08kogzceI/AAAAAAAAJO8/wEZYMLEuU3EG33yIu7vB8eDaKNi-0DuxwCK4BGAYYCw/s400/11Twin%2BPeaks%2BReturn%2Bevil%2Bcoop.jpg" width="400" /></a></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>ON TULPAS</b><br /><br />A tulpa is a thought-form, an imagined being that can seem to take life when enough psychic power is directed at it. It can start as a fear, like the modern-day myth of Slender Man, or as an imaginary friend, but it takes shape with greater mental attention, and can, in some tellings, eventually become independent of the thinker who created it. Tulpas who gain this kind of independence are often associated with trickster-type phenomena and generally dark things.<br /><br />In his now-defunct blog,&nbsp;<b><a href="http://rigint.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Rigorous Intuition</a></b>, writer Jeff Wells collects several stories of tulpas in a number of posts, such as this excerpt written by Alexandra David-Neel and included in Wells' essay titled ‘Planet of the Lost Children (Part One)’:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">Besides having had few opportunities of seeing thought-forms, my habitual incredulity led me to make experiments for myself, and my efforts were attended with some success. In order to avoid being influenced by the forms of the lamaist deities, which I saw daily around me in paintings and images, I chose for my experiment a most insignificant character: a Monk, short and fat, of an innocent and jolly type.&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">I shut myself in tsams and proceeded to perform the prescribed concentration of thought and other rites. After a few months the phantom Monk was formed. His form grew gradually fixed and lifelike looking. He became a kind of guest, living in my apartment. I then broke my seclusion and started for a tour, with my servants and tents.&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">The Monk included himself in the party. Though I lived in the open, riding on horseback for miles each day, the illusion persisted. I saw the fat tulpa; now and then it was not necessary for me to think of him to make him appear. The phantom performed various actions of the kind that are natural to travelers and that I had not commanded. For instance, he walked, stopped, looked around him. The illusion was mostly visual, but sometimes I felt as if a robe was lightly rubbing against me, and once a hand seemed to touch my shoulder.&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">The features which I had imagined, when building my phantom, gradually underwent a change. The fat, chubby-cheeked fellow grew leaner, his face assumed a vaguely mocking, sly, malignant look. He became more troublesome and bold. In brief, he escaped my control. Once, a herdsman who brought me a present of butter saw the tulpa in my tent and took it for a living lama.&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">I ought to have let the phenomenon follow its course, but the presence of that unwanted companion began to prove trying to my nerves; it turned into a "day-nightmare".&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">Moreover, I was beginning to plan my journey to Lhasa and needed a quiet brain devoid of other preoccupations, so I decided to dissolve the phantom. I succeeded, but only after six months of hard struggle. My mind-creature was tenacious of life.</blockquote></div><div>Dougie Jones, whom Cooper replaces upon his return to our world, has no record of his existence prior to 1997. Upon Cooper's re-entry, Jones is transported to the Red Room, where The One-Armed Man tells him that he was manufactured and his purpose is now complete. Dougie proceeds to fade from existence, and the owl ring he was wearing falls to the floor. The Las Vegas Police detectives the Fusco brothers, unaware that Jones has been replaced by the now-infantile Cooper, speculate Jones' lack of a past may indicate he is in the federal witness protection program. But what if Dougie himself was a tulpa, conjured into existence by evil Cooper as part of his plan to remain in our world and prevent himself from being drawn back to the lodge? Could other characters we have come to know also be tulpas, conjurings from the human imagination, the dark power of Bob, the mysterious Mother/Experiment, or the Lodges themselves?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BaD0wqEVO3s/WZ081pC9tBI/AAAAAAAAJPM/jBTOfOhUbMgRY4aRUQ3FArCWDtwzo7NYACK4BGAYYCw/s1600/twin%2Bpeaks%2Bglass%2Bbox%2Bcreature%2Balien.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="218" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BaD0wqEVO3s/WZ081pC9tBI/AAAAAAAAJPM/jBTOfOhUbMgRY4aRUQ3FArCWDtwzo7NYACK4BGAYYCw/s400/twin%2Bpeaks%2Bglass%2Bbox%2Bcreature%2Balien.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><b>THE CONCLUSION OF THE RETURN</b><br /><br />It remains to be seen what final answers, if any, the conclusion of&nbsp;<i>Twin Peaks: The Return</i>&nbsp;will provide. We have not even touched upon Sarah Palmer's visions of a white horse, also referenced by the Woodsmen in Part 8, nor the importance of the nuclear explosion, The Experiment/Mother (and it's physical similarity to the idea of the alien grey). We have only briefly mentioned the concept of fear and suffering as food (garmonbozia) to inter-dimensional beings, nor touched upon the major reveals in Part 14 relating to the eyeless woman, Naido, or the being that seems to inhabit Sarah Palmer when she removes her face at that part's conclusion and kills a man at the Elk's Point #9 bar by biting his jugular.<br /><br />Knowing the way Lynch operates in his films and the rest of the Twin Peaks pantheon, it is quite possible any conclusions we have drawn so far will be turned on their heads by the time the final Part 18 airs several weeks from now. One thing is for certain, however –&nbsp;<i>The Return</i>&nbsp;has cemented the Twin Peaks catalogue as a powerful thought-form, a tulpa conjured by Frost and Lynch more than two decades ago and given tremendous agency after feeding on the psychic energy of thousands of intrigued and obsessed viewers for the last 27 years.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5IT5OXqbyjo/WZ084mFx7hI/AAAAAAAAJPU/kaA27-c26kYwHoN3_W_OI4TuP8hVCP-vQCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/twin%2Bpeaks%2Bexperiment%2Balien.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5IT5OXqbyjo/WZ084mFx7hI/AAAAAAAAJPU/kaA27-c26kYwHoN3_W_OI4TuP8hVCP-vQCK4BGAYYCw/s400/twin%2Bpeaks%2Bexperiment%2Balien.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Jerky LeBoeufhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06022293362312800819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667944064156340206.post-89316739096096675632017-08-21T09:47:00.002-07:002017-08-21T10:07:35.093-07:00FHTAGN!

Doyle</b>! In this enlightening and entertaining survey, Ace provides lovers of classic Hollywood a solid month's worth of programming choices, at least. Enjoy! - <b>Jerky</b></i></blockquote>There are a few on-screen pairings this past generation who have generated some heat and some laughs. Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Their oeuvres are largely somewhere between bad and forgettable–does anybody remember <i>Joe Versus The Volcano</i> or <i>By The Sea</i> or <i>True Detective</i> or <i>Blended</i>? Gere and Roberts have starred twice together, in pretty good films, <i>Pretty Woman</i> and <i>Runaway Bride</i>. And Brangelina became a pop culture term, but <i>Mr. &amp; Mrs. Smith</i>–where they met on the set and she spirited him away from Ms. Aniston–and <i>By The Sea</i>, Ms. Jolie’s directorial debut, were fairly awful.<br /><br />And most of these pairs have only starred in two or three films together. Compared to Loren and Mastroianni in 13, Taylor and Burton in 11, Hepburn and Tracy in 9, Astaire and Rogers in 10, Powell and Loy in 14, Farrow and Allen in 7 (plus he directed her in 6 more). Bogey and Bacall were only in four together, but what a four!<br /><br />So it seems the Golden Era of paired actors and actresses across multiple films is largely behind us. Which is a pity, because there were some wonderful collaborations (on-screen and off, as often as not). Moreover, fine actors and actresses can develop a rapport and sense of timing, both comic and dramatic, that, like a fine wine, matures over time.<br /><br />There’s also a modern conceit that showing a couple firing machine guns at bad guys then rolling around naked and sweaty in <i>flagrante delicto</i> is the only way to convey sexiness, desire, allure, magnetic attraction. Whereas Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert stringing up a line and draping a blanket over it in the fleabag motel so that they can’t see each other change into pyjamas and snuggle into separate beds (<i>It Happened One Night</i>, one of only three films to win the “Big Five” Oscars) is deliciously titillating and arousing.<br /><br />So let’s take a walk down Memory Lane, and examine the great romantic/dramatic pairings. With the exception of a couple of Burton/Taylors when I was too young to see them, <i>Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner</i>, the Woody Allen films, and some Loren, most of these movies were produced well before I was born, and I’m in my mid-50s, so this nostalgic promenade will appeal to film buffs, but if you don’t watch anything before CGI and David Lynch, you might want to continue to the next article.<br /><br />Let’s start with the flimsiest plots, and the least remembered movies nowadays, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=images&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwilkc-l8tLVAhXKz1QKHY2uBVEQjRwIBw&amp;url=http://www.avclub.com/article/elegance-meets-feistiness-astaire-rogers-musicals-202382&amp;psig=AFQjCNHPDZIcPoH6npG1O-w3K-uVGUWGQA&amp;ust=1502668431080593"><img border="0" src="file:///C:/Users/Test/AppData/Local/Packages/oice_16_974fa576_32c1d314_2c13/AC/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.jpg" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S4BvfyJ-stg/WZkNl4ECC1I/AAAAAAAAJMI/950QJtA-wcYaRVpM7oE9GKxHPVqaTE5nwCLcBGAs/s1600/111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="960" height="225" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S4BvfyJ-stg/WZkNl4ECC1I/AAAAAAAAJMI/950QJtA-wcYaRVpM7oE9GKxHPVqaTE5nwCLcBGAs/s400/111.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div>It’s a pity that they never got the same sort of screenplays that Gene Kelly and Julie Andrews and Audrey Hepburn benefited from. Musicals are a great film tradition, and during their heyday, they won Best Picture every few years. <i>An American In Paris</i>, <i>GiGi</i>, <i>The King and I</i>, <i>West Side Story</i>, <i>My Fair Lady</i>, <i>The Sound Of Music</i>, <i>Oliver</i>, and <i>Cabaret</i> all won Best Pic within a 20-year span. <i>Fiddler On The Roof</i>, <i>Chitty Chitty Bang Bang</i>, <i>Mary Poppins</i>, <i>Anchors Aweigh</i>, <i>Singing In The Rain</i>, <i>Carousel</i>, <i>Oklahoma</i>, <i>Show Boat</i>, <i>State Fair</i>, and <i>South Pacific </i>were nominated for or won many other Oscars. It was an amazing quarter century of great musicals.<br /><br />Over the 40 years since then we’ve had <i>Chicago</i> and <i>Moulin Rouge</i> as the only noteworthy musicals that come to mind. <br /><br />But the Astaire-Rogers films were vehicles for dance routines, with scant attention paid to either comic timing, dramatic tension, or engaging narratives. And not because Fred and Ginger couldn’t act. In his mis-cast pairing with Audrey Hepburn in <i>Funny Face</i>, Astaire was really good. <i>Top Hat</i> and <i>Swing Time</i> are the two strongest of their ten movies together, light frothy fun, and really quite impressive to see her make such amazing moves in 4-inch heels. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mxPgplMujzQ/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mxPgplMujzQ?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><br />But they lack sizzle, romantically. And the humor is dated, of the W.C. Fields or Abbott &amp; Costello sort, hackneyed lines, delivered with telegraphed “here comes the punchline” Vaudeville schmaltz. These are movies to watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon with a five-year-old daughter who likes dancing.<br /><br />Next, Sophia and Marcelo.&nbsp;<div>&nbsp; <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E7UJbB9m1CE/WZkNvQSv76I/AAAAAAAAJMo/xi5mN9TS1A8B1qhR7Iwn1QGE7oWCI7VLQCEwYBhgL/s1600/112.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="827" data-original-width="1280" height="257" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E7UJbB9m1CE/WZkNvQSv76I/AAAAAAAAJMo/xi5mN9TS1A8B1qhR7Iwn1QGE7oWCI7VLQCEwYBhgL/s400/112.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=images&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwj6zYvf8tLVAhXIhFQKHQBqDWUQjRwIBw&amp;url=https://www.pinterest.com/pin/106327241172338882/&amp;psig=AFQjCNG7hhd0RfacphecSqVg4uTRYfykXg&amp;ust=1502668536780267"><img border="0" src="file:///C:/Users/Test/AppData/Local/Packages/oice_16_974fa576_32c1d314_2c13/AC/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image004.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The reason I rank them a bit lower among the great on-screen collaborations is that her great or very good films were not with him. Her debut in <i>Quo Vadis</i> starred Charlton Heston. Her iconic climbing out of the water into the fishing boat scene in <i>Boy On A Dolphin</i> starred Alan Ladd. <i>The Pride &amp; The Passion</i> starred Cary Grant, who fell hopelessly in love with her, and tried to woo her for the next few years, madly in love with a woman half his age. <i>Desire Under The Elms</i> starred Anthony Perkins. Her Best Actress Oscar for <i>Two Woman</i> starred Jean-Paul Belmondo. Her co-star in <i>Man Of La Mancha</i> was Peter O’Toole, who said of her: "each moment I spend in her presence she becomes more edible."<br /><br />Mastroaianni’s interest in co-starring again and again with her isn’t very hard to understand, now is it?</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dCmotebSiHU/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dCmotebSiHU?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div>I day you to shut this clip off in the first three minutes. Every man in Italy must have been screaming “NOOOOOOOO!” at the 3:20 point!<br /><br />She never starred with Mastroianni in films that got much traction on this side of the pond. <i>Ghosts Italian Style</i>, <i>What A Woman</i>, <i>Sunflower</i>, <i>Yesterday Today &amp; Tomorrow</i>, <i>The Priest’s Wife</i> might have made it to art-houses, but <i>Marriage Italian Style</i> was probably the only major hit on this side of the pond. Their cameos in <i>Pret-a-Porter</i>, an excellent pseudo-documentary, were cute, but that wasn’t genuinely a Loren-Mastroianni film. <br /><br />Now I haven’t a count of how many of her 85 films were produced by her lover/husband Carlo Ponti. He chose not to cast her in his two greatest films, <i>La Strada</i> and <i>Dr. Zhivago</i>. But while that’s not an on-screen collaboration, we must thank Senor Ponti for bestowing on us all this great gift of Sophia Loren!<br /><br />On to Burton and Taylor. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TTt2zqMU85A/WZkNvJmtBaI/AAAAAAAAJMw/59__gpujBNAfTZcvEWQK_xX6DUPfi7obQCEwYBhgL/s1600/113.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1000" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TTt2zqMU85A/WZkNvJmtBaI/AAAAAAAAJMw/59__gpujBNAfTZcvEWQK_xX6DUPfi7obQCEwYBhgL/s400/113.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=images&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjTsuSD89LVAhVmzVQKHcbMCjYQjRwIBw&amp;url=https://la-confidential-magazine.com/elizabeth-taylor-and-richard-burtons-trip-to-rome&amp;psig=AFQjCNHhxhiX0VHCvVEFFppdPqyWndow5w&amp;ust=1502668599636742"><img border="0" src="file:///C:/Users/Test/AppData/Local/Packages/oice_16_974fa576_32c1d314_2c13/AC/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image006.jpg" /></a><br />Oh boy, this is a tough one to parse. Along with Alec Guinness, Peter O’Toole, Michael Caine, and Daniel Day-Lewis, Burton is my favorite British actor. I admired Olivier, of course, and Kenneth Branagh is a fine actor, Gary Oldman is terrific, Christian Bale and Jude Law not bad, and of course as a dude I have a soft spot for Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart. But Burton was one of his generation’s best. He could take a B-movie like <i>Where Eagles Dare</i> and bestow a certain gravitas upon it.<br /><br />Taylor? She can be terrific. From her early teen cutie stints in the likes of <i>National Velvet</i>, to <i>Giant</i>, <i>Cat On A Hot Tin Roof</i>, <i>A Place In The Sun</i>, <i>Ivanhoe</i>, <i>Quo Vadis</i>, <i>Suddenly Last Summer</i>, <i>BUtterfield 8</i>, <i>Raintree County</i>, she was very good in some very good films. She’s won Best Actress twice and been nominated another three times. That’s up in the Bette Davis/Kate Hepburn/Meryl Streep stratosphere. As with Warren Beatty, it’s easy to forget among all the scandals and gossip and Jennifer/Brad/Angelina sort of stuff over her thirty-eight marriages and latter-day cheesiness that she was one of the great actresses of the 50s and 60s. <br /><br />She generated more heat with Paul Newman in <i>Cat On A Hot Tin Roof</i> and Laurence Harvey in <i>BUtterfield 8</i> and Montgomery Clift in <i>Suddenly, Last Summer</i> than with Burton in most of their collaborations.<br /><br />So let’s first address the elephant in the living room: <i>Cleopatra</i>. At its time it was the most expensive film ever made. Yet its reputation as being a box office disaster is a retrospective myth. It was the highest-grossing film of 1963, a box office smash. It’s just that its production, distribution, and marketing costs led it to lose money. I believe it remains the only highest-grossing film to ever lose money. It had no real script, Taylor and Burton were alternately fighting or fucking, the locale was changed several times, and the screenplay was weak. David Lean probably could have made it one of the great films of the 20th century, but Mankiewicz was in over his head–this wasn’t <i>All About Eve</i>, this was an epic.<br /><br />But its main shortcoming, in my view (and aside from its length) was that the chemistry between Burton and Taylor just seemed fake.<br /><br />Next up, <i>The Comedians</i>. This is an okay movie, but Taylor simply isn’t a comic actress, nor even a good set-up “straight man”, a la Audrey Meadow or Kate Hudson or Mary Tyler Moore. Plus the Graham Greene novel is a dark comedy, which requires a special talent–Papa Doc Duvalier wasn’t a slapstick character. Interestingly, her role was originally intended for Sophia Loren, but Burton vetoed the choice. I’m not sure Loren would have done any better.<br /><br /><i>Ann Of The Thousand Days</i> is a solid flick, but Taylor just makes a cameo, Burton’s co-star is Genevieve Bujold. <i>The Taming Of The Shrew</i> is pretty good, but again, she’s not really made for comedy, and she lacked Shakespearean training.<br /><br />Then a lot of crap, really, and one masterpiece, <i>Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe?</i> For which she won her first Best Actress. It’s so awful to watch, worse than <i>Days Of Wine And Roses</i>, no fun at all, cringe after cringe. And they are both exquisite. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nInE5TITzE8/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nInE5TITzE8?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>One of the most painful films ever made. But to call it a romantic on-screen pairing is laughable.<br /><br />Had Burton been cast as the john in <i>BUtterfield 8</i>, that would have been, em… intriguing.<br /><br />Okay, next up, Woody and Mia. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8bjKnroOjdM/WZkNvCMVkgI/AAAAAAAAJMo/vBrpesoqnWUbxOzgMll6c4SCGxtOJNttwCEwYBhgL/s1600/114.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="340" height="266" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8bjKnroOjdM/WZkNvCMVkgI/AAAAAAAAJMo/vBrpesoqnWUbxOzgMll6c4SCGxtOJNttwCEwYBhgL/s400/114.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>If not for Soon Yi, this would be a frothier examination, but there’s so much baggage surrounding their off-screen problems that it’s difficult to assess their on-screen collaborations without prejudice. <br /><br />Mia’s an enigma. One of the best sour grapes lines in Hollywood history belongs to Ava Gardner: "I always knew Frankie would end up with a teenage boy." &nbsp;She’s a weird lady, to be sure, and marrying an aged Sinatra wasn’t the least of it. But she has talent. She was excellent in <i>Rosemary’s Baby </i>and pretty good in <i>The Great Gatsby</i>. She’s never been nominated for an Oscar, but has received several Golden Globe nominations, winning Best Newcomer in 1964’s <i>Guns At Batasi</i>. <br /><br />For a decade and a half Allen felt compelled to have her in his films, much as Tarantino seems fixated on the same three or four actors and actresses, some of whom, such as Uma Thurman, just can’t act. Here I’ll start with the best first. <i>Hannah &amp; Her Sisters</i> is, IMNSHO, Allen’s second-best film, after <i>Annie Hall</i>. She’s terrific, and he is at his nebbishy best. The shtick has gotten tired through repetition, and his arrogance in casting himself has undermined easily a dozen of his movies that would have been better with a well-cast leading man. But this one really clicks. In a scene which few outside of Manhattan, Baltimore, Boston, Miami, L.A., and Chicago could appreciate, him trying to impress her by going shopping and bringing out Wonder Bread, Oscar-Meyer bologna, Kraft cheese, and Miracle Whip from the bag, is priceless. But it sailed right over the head of most goyim.<br /><br />I have a soft spot for <i>Broadway Danny Rose</i>, and while they are not lovers, both are very good. This is an overlooked Allen gem of a movie, very funny and poignant.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Zq6eW-5VlGE/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Zq6eW-5VlGE?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><i>Radio Days</i> was just okay, and Allen is more in play as the narrator, which I find fantastically annoying, with Farrow as a failed radio star due to her equally annoying accent. No on-screen romance or dramatic tension involved.<br /><br /><i>Crimes &amp; Misdemeanors</i> is a fairly good film, and Allen was nominated for Best Director. His failing marriage and subsequent crush on Farrow is both sweet and painful. This was a fine pairing. <i>Alice</i> and <i>Purple Rose of Cairo</i> are pretty good films, though not must-sees,<br /><br /><i>Husbands &amp; Wives</i> was also good, and while not exactly sizzling, the husband and wife pair give convincing performances in this dark comedy. A very good collaboration, by two who were by now well-accustomed to being onscreen together. And then she would stumble across the naked Soon-Yi photographs, making this their last film together. <br /><br />I’m awarding the bronze to Bogey &amp; Bacall. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0vNxTqxRVB4/WZkNoIO5a4I/AAAAAAAAJMo/MSjmKpIJIxcWi0jbeqqqA8k6EHC1-aUIgCEwYBhgL/s1600/115.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="353" data-original-width="311" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0vNxTqxRVB4/WZkNoIO5a4I/AAAAAAAAJMo/MSjmKpIJIxcWi0jbeqqqA8k6EHC1-aUIgCEwYBhgL/s320/115.jpg" width="281" /></a></div><a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=images&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjDm42_89LVAhVoiVQKHYUsACkQjRwIBw&amp;url=http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/bogie-and-bacall/images/29585801/title/bogie-bacall-photo&amp;psig=AFQjCNHyirh8OT8SayKMvVVrkePoLLTbVA&amp;ust=1502668747773202"><img border="0" src="file:///C:/Users/Test/AppData/Local/Packages/oice_16_974fa576_32c1d314_2c13/AC/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image008.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Had she been cast instead of Bergman in <i>Casablanca</i>, or instead of Mary Astor in <i>The Maltese Falcon</i>, I might have been forced to give them the top spot. And both films would have been even better. I frankly think Bergman was <i>Casablanca</i>’s weak spot. Bogart couldn’t stand her. Grant didn’t like her much in <i>Notorious</i> either. But Bogey and Bacall only starred in four films together. Their off-screen marriage and support of Adlai Stevenson and the balls to stand up to McCarthy and the HUAC witch trials cement them in our cultural memory as one of the truly great Hollywood couples. But their screen output was more modest than all the others mentioned here.<br /><br />Two of the four were truly great movies, Top 50 ever material: <i>The Big Sleep</i> and <i>To Have And Have Not</i>. <i>Key Largo</i> is excellent. <i>Dark Passage</i> is very good, and groundbreaking in its cinematography, never showing the protagonist’s face, and looking at everything through his eyes, until the facial surgery.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tF3vQHlcOFQ/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tF3vQHlcOFQ?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>They created a lot of their chemistry without uttering a single word. <br /><br /><i>To Have And Have Not</i> may be one of the greatest romantic dark comedies ever filmed. You know how to whistle, doncha Steve, just put your lips together and blow. All four are must-sees for every film aficionado, and part of American film iconography, though Bogart is a bit off-key in <i>Dark Passage</i>, and certainly doesn’t measure up to his performances in <i>Casablanca</i> or <i>The African Queen</i> or <i>The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre</i>. Bacall is terrific in all four. And the underlying sexual tension in all of them is exquisite.<br /><br />Runner-up: Myrna Loy and William Powell, who starred in fourteen films together, the highest total of any of our celluloid lovers. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C5Hv8SUel_s/WZkNoISFrII/AAAAAAAAJMo/_rG9SVoHwyoey9n8wsWrMc9cHwsaHXcYQCEwYBhgL/s1600/116.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="787" data-original-width="1400" height="223" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C5Hv8SUel_s/WZkNoISFrII/AAAAAAAAJMo/_rG9SVoHwyoey9n8wsWrMc9cHwsaHXcYQCEwYBhgL/s400/116.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=images&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiS29OB9NLVAhWhrlQKHeStClgQjRwIBw&amp;url=http://www.npr.org/2012/11/03/164195799/nick-nora-and-asta-return-in-thin-man-novellas&amp;psig=AFQjCNF5kh2XwqDsbxGsO7mmgMwP6cyLPg&amp;ust=1502668826476467"><img border="0" src="file:///C:/Users/Test/AppData/Local/Packages/oice_16_974fa576_32c1d314_2c13/AC/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image010.jpg" /></a><br />The infamous “Lady In Red” was Number One Most Wanted John Dillinger’s date to the debut of <i>Manhattan Melodrama</i>, Powell and Loy’s first film together, but it was Loy greeting guests outside the theatre that drew Dillinger into the open. “They didn’t even try to arrest him, they just filled him full of holes”, Loy lamented later, “the pour soul”. Powell and Gable were the stars competing for the affection of the newcomer, in a rather schmaltzy film of outdated charm. Woody “One-Take” VanDyke noticed that Powell and Loy had a special sort of chemistry, and asked MGM to cast her as Nora in the original <i>The Thin Man</i>. Sam Goldwyn wanted to cast Mary Astor, but once Powell joined in with VanDyke, the studio relented, and the rest is history.<br /><br />Has marriage ever been so fun? Most rom-coms end when the star-crossed lovers finally see that their fiancees are jerks and end up in each other’s arms, while the Thin Man series begins there. Sexy, witty, friendly, their rapport is irresistible. The first one ranks among the six or eight greatest romantic comedies ever. It opens with Powell: “You see, the important thing is the rhythm. You always have rhythm in your shaking. Now a Manhattan you shake to a foxtrot. A Bronx to a two-step time. A dry Martini you always shake to waltz time.” <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2HmDRXsI9HY/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2HmDRXsI9HY?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div>Liquor played a prominent comedic crutch.<br /><br />And talk about female empowerment?! When the police knock on the door or the bad guys are lurking around the corner, it’s Loy who says “honey, I’ll handle this, fix yourself an eye-opener and I’ll be right back”, as Powell lounges in his silk bathrobe. Additionally, HE’S the one who married upward, a suave working class sort who’s landed himself a cosmopolitan heiress. Of course when the need for some Sherlock Holmesian crime-solving cogitation arises, it is Powell who typically connects the clues and has the eureka moment, but Loy is the one in charge. Five of the six are fine films, and the fourth or fifth was the breakthrough role for a very young Jimmy Stewart, atypically cast as the evil criminal. <br /><br />The Thin Man series was MGM’s greatest success of the 1930s. Myrna Loy was so iconic by the time of the HUAC hearings 15 years later that she was one of the few, along with Bogey and Bacall and Sinatra, with sufficient public standing to stand up to McCarthy. <br /><br />In the 1940s Powell and Loy co-starred in another half dozen films. <i>I Love You Again</i>, <i>Love Crazy</i>, and <i>Double Wedding</i> are all fine slapstick comedies, where Powell plays it broad and Loy plays it subtle. “Do you take dope?” she asks in one. When she was voted Queen Of Hollywood and Gable voted King, Powell sent her a box full of rotting vegetables and dead leaves, signed “from William the Fourth”. He had placed fourth. <br /><br />Loy’s greatest film lay ahead, with <i>The Best Years Of Our Lives</i> being her finest role, but the teaming up with Powell is probably the most enjoyable comic couple in film history. Powell claims that the best decision of his career was demanding to be married to Loy onscreen.<br /><br />Well by now it’s obvious whom I’m tagging as Numero Uno. <br /><br />Four Best Actresses. Nine other nominations. Two Best Actors. Seven other nominations. Twenty-two nominations and wins between them. No, kids, it’s not Daniel Day-Lewis and Meryl Streep, you know who the winners are.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h7-2oSRqDWw/WZkNoOrItnI/AAAAAAAAJMo/lt4D6l9PEswLinyuGOJdbU5urmtMnh15gCEwYBhgL/s1600/117.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="387" data-original-width="688" height="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h7-2oSRqDWw/WZkNoOrItnI/AAAAAAAAJMo/lt4D6l9PEswLinyuGOJdbU5urmtMnh15gCEwYBhgL/s400/117.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>They met on the set of <i>Woman Of The Year</i>. He had already won his two Best Actors. She was in heels. She wrinkled her nose and sneered: “oh dear, it seems I’m a bit too tall for you.”<br /><br />Without missing a beat he replied: “don’t worry, I’ll cut you down to size.”<br /><br />Exactly 25 years later, shortly after filming their 9th movie together, he died, nominated posthumously for the 9th time for an Oscar as Best Actor, and winning a posthumous Golden Globe. She won Best Actress, while in mourning. She went on to win again the next year, the only tie in Academy history… with Babs in <i>Funny Girl</i> getting the exact same number of votes. And I can’t argue, because Streisand was excellent. But Kate with O’Toole, channeling all her sadness, is one of the greatest roles I’ve ever seen. <i>The Lion In Winter </i>is one of only two dozen films I can watch again and again and again. And in some ways I think Spencer Tracy should get credit for the pathos she exuded as Elinor of Aquitaine.<br /><br />So their swan song was <i>Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner</i>. That was a tough fucking year to win Best Actor. Paul Newman in <i>Cool Hand Luke</i>. Dustin Hoffman in <i>The Graduate</i>. Warren Beatty in <i>Bonnie &amp; Clyde</i>. None of them won. Rod Steiger did, for <i>In The Heat Of The Night</i>. Poor Sydney Poitier, he was outgunned on the set in both of his films that year!<br /><br />So they ended their onscreen and offscreen collaboration on a serious note. But what fun they had in between! <i>Adam’s Rib</i>, <i>Desk Set</i>, <i>Woman Of The Year</i>? Those all rank among the best of the Golden Era rom-com standards. <br /><br />And talk about chemistry? Watch the first three minutes of this clip, or just go to about the 2:30 point, and enjoy the next 20 seconds:&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ls1qu4-4TP0/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ls1qu4-4TP0?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><div><br /></div>Now THAT is desire incarnate, just exquisitely sexy. No machine guns, no naked bodies, just amazing acting and great script.<br /><br /><i>The Sea Of Grass</i> was tepidly received, and Elia Kazan did not care for the final product, but it was the most successful of all the Tracy-Hepburn romantic comedies, enormously profitable for MGM, and a cute little western. <i>Pat And Mike</i> is fun, and Hepburn was a fantastic athlete, so all of the tennis and golf and running and swimming scenes are her. Directed by Cukor, who got great performances out of her in <i>Adam’s Rib</i> and <i>The Philadelphia Story</i>.<br /><br /><i>State Of The Union</i> is a very interesting drama, reminiscent of <i>The Manchurian Candidate</i> (with Angela Lansbury in an eerily similar role), directed by Frank Capra, and in the late 40s considered controversial enough that MGM removed several of the most critical scenes, watering it down to a weaker version. Rumor had it that upon seeing it, Harry Truman decided to run again in 1948. <br /><br /><i>Without Love </i>was a vanity piece written expressly for Hepburn by her frequent script reviewer Phillip Barry. It’s okay.<br /><br /><i>Keeper Of The Flame</i>? Equating extreme wealth with fascism? Republicans were outraged, people boycotted it, the government wanted to ban it. Cukor, directing them yet another time, was dissatisfied with the final product. It was positively un-American to suggest that great wealth could insulate people against the institutional cruelty they inflict. Their least successful film. Hmmm……does it pique your interest? Anything topical about it nowadays?<br /><br />But the combined quantity and quality of their collaborations, both dramatic and comedic, lands them the top spot, Greatest Hollywood Couple Ever.<br /><br />So there’s my subjective rundown. Burton and Taylor probably suffered from the worst batting average, with a couple of spectacular successes (that weren’t very romantic), a hot mess, occasionally punctuated with greatness. Bogey and Bacall had the highest proportion of very good to great films. Loren and Mastroianni might win in Italy, but not here. Allen and Farrow had hits and misses. Loy and Powell a string of flippant little romps that cannot help but amuse. Tracy and Hepburn the greatest mix of solemn and silly, nearly all of high quality. But choose from any of these if you’ve got a date coming by, or want to snuggle with your spouse on the couch. Some are a bit dated, the tone seeming a bit forced or clunky by modern standards, but nearly all have snappy verbal interplay and great dramatic presence, echoes of an era when dialogue was often the most important feature of a film. And people didn’t need to be naked to be sexy.<br /><br />Enjoy!</div></div>Jerky LeBoeufhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06022293362312800819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667944064156340206.post-83091692210296002472017-08-14T19:03:00.003-07:002017-08-14T19:04:00.153-07:00A MULTI-PURPOSE SYMBOL WITH MULTIPLE MEANINGS <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bGroY1m19xM/WZJWXvWQVJI/AAAAAAAAJIw/rKEDK3ChosQIVo1HlR6hbCHmJvmEgpkPgCLcBGAs/s1600/5H2foSt%2B-%2BImgur.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="504" data-original-width="720" height="448" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bGroY1m19xM/WZJWXvWQVJI/AAAAAAAAJIw/rKEDK3ChosQIVo1HlR6hbCHmJvmEgpkPgCLcBGAs/s640/5H2foSt%2B-%2BImgur.gif" width="640" /></a></div><br />Jerky LeBoeufhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06022293362312800819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667944064156340206.post-19616018787819722252017-08-13T15:38:00.002-07:002017-08-13T15:59:12.417-07:00FIRE WALK WITH JERKY ~ EP. 6: REALIZATION TIME<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mrdVFoq96TM/WX7C6nzbqZI/AAAAAAAAI5c/bLQtXnIuXUUBzKU5cc-v5gMMvvPe0rlaACLcBGAs/s1600/vlcsnap-2017-07-30-05h14m44s962.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="576" height="500" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mrdVFoq96TM/WX7C6nzbqZI/AAAAAAAAI5c/bLQtXnIuXUUBzKU5cc-v5gMMvvPe0rlaACLcBGAs/s640/vlcsnap-2017-07-30-05h14m44s962.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div>Uh-oh! Looks like the sixth post-pilot episode of Twin Peaks begins with a pretty serious continuity error. The first thing we see in this episode is a clear and beautiful half moon hanging up in the sky. Unfortunately, the previous episode kicked off with a giant, up close image of a clearly FULL Moon, as seen through some pines! The events of the previous episode took place no more than two days previous to the beginning of this episode, and not the six or seven days it would have taken for such a drastic change in lunar phase. Oh well... I guess that's bound to happen when a series has directors hopping on and off willy-nilly, episode by episode. That's why I think having Lynch and Frost oversee the entirety of Season Three is such a brilliant move... and I can hardly wait to get started on it!

In fact, giving the gift of a unicorn to a girl who is about to be introduced into the sex trade can be seen as pretty savage sarcasm when you take into consideration the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicorn#Entrapment">traditional method for hunting the unicorn</a>, which entails having a young virgin maiden sit in a field until a unicorn, "through its intemperance and not knowing how to control itself ... forgets its ferocity and wildness; and laying aside all fear it will go up to a seated damsel and go to sleep in her lap, and thus the hunters take it." In this case, however, it seems the reverse is true. It's as if "young maidens" are so intrigued by the ferocity and wildness of an "adult" place like One Eyed Jack's that they ignore the obvious danger to themselves and walk right in, where they are easy pickings for the "hunters", like BOB and other predators.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6YGeLsyvgMM/WY4ILkcVqeI/AAAAAAAAJB0/kYYlGgkCb3oOI5xH6zQHUwA1xDjFH581ACLcBGAs/s1600/vlcsnap-2017-08-11-15h37m08s177.png"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6YGeLsyvgMM/WY4ILkcVqeI/AAAAAAAAJB0/kYYlGgkCb3oOI5xH6zQHUwA1xDjFH581ACLcBGAs/s400/vlcsnap-2017-08-11-15h37m08s177.png" /></a></div><br />After Emory escorts Jenny out of the office so they can go find her some "elegant" clothes for her debut night, Audrey sneaks out and examines Emory's "little black book", which has the names of all the perfume counter girls who've gone on to work at One Eyed Jack's. Ronnette's name is near the end, with a maximum FOUR blood red hearts after her name. Jenny's name is there, without heart rating as yet.

Nothing more than a few glancing nods towards paganism (Jerry's comment about worshiping trees) and the obligatory shots of Pacific Northwest First Nations artwork. It sure did advance the plot a bunch, though! Anyway, I promise not to take as long between episodes next time, and I also promise to shorten these up for the second season... mostly because I'm anxious about getting to the third season! But also because I realize that synopses are of limited value, and that most people reading this would rather be pointed in weirder, more fruitful directions for further research and study.

It is interesting, however, that Bobby’s “breakthrough” is followed by the score swelling to majestic heights to really underscore the intensity of the moment. Also, Bobby’s face cross-fading into the image of a soaring bird, usually a symbol of freedom, might signal that Bobby was being sincere, and that by confessing, he freed himself of a great burden.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kZG1LhrFTM8/WXhHkWxRHmI/AAAAAAAAIwA/zYL-CJZoXPsl8OU-g5O6NXWup5hxCR11wCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/vlcsnap-2017-07-26-01h24m32s995.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="311" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kZG1LhrFTM8/WXhHkWxRHmI/AAAAAAAAIwA/zYL-CJZoXPsl8OU-g5O6NXWup5hxCR11wCK4BGAYYCw/s400/vlcsnap-2017-07-26-01h24m32s995.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Within moments, however, this archetypal symbolic interpretation is called into question, when another bird (indeed, perhaps the very bird we’d just seen flying away as a representation of Bobby freeing himself of the guilt over Laura’s death) alights over our questing seekers and observes them as the continue their own investigations.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aBP45EjWFlY/WXhJnBOLxDI/AAAAAAAAIxs/gwxMcx_U_jAyjw1XL-vDISh6dOlIx-PlQCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/vlcsnap-2017-07-26-01h41m04s569.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="311" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aBP45EjWFlY/WXhJnBOLxDI/AAAAAAAAIxs/gwxMcx_U_jAyjw1XL-vDISh6dOlIx-PlQCK4BGAYYCw/s400/vlcsnap-2017-07-26-01h41m04s569.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />This bird is quite clearly a raven… which has its own,&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_depictions_of_ravens"><b>altogether more sinister, symbolic weight</b></a>.

In fact, even the most cursory perusal of Hamsun’s themes and works – particularly his mythopoeic view of the natural world and his Romantic reaction against those who value pure reason above all else – makes it apparent that much of it could fit quite well with Lynch/Frost’s Twin Peaks project.<br /><br />One final point of interest is the fact that Hamsun became an avid, some would say rabid, supporter of Adolph Hitler’s Third Reich, very late in life.

First off, as Cooper notes, it’s a beautiful day (see above). <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BhACIw5VSN4/WXEqH-8YASI/AAAAAAAAIQI/dARztATjGLo8TXBkocapQeTfcieGB-YcACLcBGAs/s1600/vlcsnap-2017-07-19-02h28m29s761.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="576" height="312" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BhACIw5VSN4/WXEqH-8YASI/AAAAAAAAIQI/dARztATjGLo8TXBkocapQeTfcieGB-YcACLcBGAs/s400/vlcsnap-2017-07-19-02h28m29s761.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Upon waking up from his post-dream sleep, Cooper goes to the Great Northern’s dining lounge where he is confronted by Audrey, who is lying in wait for him. I find it odd that Audrey’s comments are the first time Cooper has heard about Laura Palmer working at the Horne Department Store perfume counter, alongside Ronette (and other girls who ply their wares at One Eyed Jack’s, as we learned last episode). And this, mere moments after Cooper remarks upon Audrey’s perfume? Strange.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RB4OMozErUY/WXEqHwXhwYI/AAAAAAAAIQM/22BmmgU51FQ56_hksXcPIrZToDZwtMKcQCLcBGAs/s1600/vlcsnap-2017-07-19-02h47m14s858.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="576" height="312" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RB4OMozErUY/WXEqHwXhwYI/AAAAAAAAIQM/22BmmgU51FQ56_hksXcPIrZToDZwtMKcQCLcBGAs/s400/vlcsnap-2017-07-19-02h47m14s858.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />The oddness continues when Cooper is joined by Sheriff Truman and Lucy for breakfast. His unbridled enthusiasm about the weather, the quality of the food at the Great Northern (“Nothing beats the taste sensation when maple syrup collides with ham!), and his insouciance at having forgotten the name of the killer are all somewhat off-putting.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AxzlrtsBoiE/WXEqIWCTaGI/AAAAAAAAIQY/l3CDkxP1jyYpWByzSlFK8Con5zMt52-sgCLcBGAs/s1600/vlcsnap-2017-07-19-02h47m30s177.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="576" height="312" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AxzlrtsBoiE/WXEqIWCTaGI/AAAAAAAAIQY/l3CDkxP1jyYpWByzSlFK8Con5zMt52-sgCLcBGAs/s400/vlcsnap-2017-07-19-02h47m30s177.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Another strange bit of business, what’s up with Cooper telling Truman and Lucy that they were both in his dream, when as far as we could see, they were not?

They begin by talking about a drug bust that they've been setting up with some of the more trustworthy local men. But there's more... a secret society called the Book House Boys, stretching back generations. Why the need for such a group? Truman describes how Twin Peaks is different from other places, and that they like it that way... but that uniqueness comes at a price. There's "a back end to that"... "a sort of evil out there, something very, very strange in these old woods. Call it what you want; a darkness, a presence.

Everything is unfolding slowly, deliberately. After the Pilot Film and the first three episodes of seven for the series proper, that means we're halfway home now in covering the first series. I'm thinking I'll start being more picky about what I choose to point out from hereon out, so that my concordances are less summaries of events, and more commentary on symbols, resonances, references and the like.Jerky LeBoeufhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06022293362312800819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667944064156340206.post-26239113731876767932017-07-19T22:22:00.001-07:002017-07-19T22:22:32.778-07:00A TRAILER FOR EVERY BOOK EVER WRITTEN BY THOMAS PYNCHON (ALMOST)<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/43928916" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe></div>Jerky LeBoeufhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06022293362312800819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667944064156340206.post-10128171242818706392017-07-18T22:57:00.004-07:002017-07-19T22:10:27.408-07:00FIRE WALK WITH JERKY, EP. 2: ZEN, OR THE SKILL TO CATCH A KILLER<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QIO7sOPwkJ4/WW7boP93PoI/AAAAAAAAIKU/YaCrcFBZSjYMginvPi47Q7M_alpTe9hpwCLcBGAs/s1600/vlcsnap-2017-07-17-01h39m17s041.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="576" height="500" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QIO7sOPwkJ4/WW7boP93PoI/AAAAAAAAIKU/YaCrcFBZSjYMginvPi47Q7M_alpTe9hpwCLcBGAs/s640/vlcsnap-2017-07-17-01h39m17s041.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />The second episode proper begins with yet another of many scenes featuring domestic meal-taking.

According to Ben, Jerry’s got "a 50/50 chance of being first in line". To which Jerry responds: “All work and no play make Ben and Jerry dull boys.”<br /><i><br /></i><i>One Eyed Jacks</i>, of course, is a Marlon Brando film that Stanley Kubrick worked on for months before Brando decided to direct the film himself. Also, Uncle Jerry cuts a peculiarly Kubrickean figure… sort of a cross between Dr. Strangelove, Alex from <i>Clockwork Orange</i> and Jack from <i>The Shining</i> (from which the “all work and no play” maxim is taken).<br /><br />Furthermore, the aforementioned pervasive presence of Native American motifs throughout the Horne properties and elsewhere throughout Twin Peaks is also reminiscent of&nbsp;<i>The Shining</i>. Unlike Kubrick’s film, however, I don’t believe Lynch intended a sly political commentary. Instead, I think he likes the way the large sculptures of Pacific Northwest Native tribes resemble the iconography of Ancient Egypt and Babylon, such as the Sphinx, or the Winged Bull.<br /><br />It occurs to me at this point, considering the series' sheer volume of visual references to Native American culture, art, and thus, inescapably, myths and legends, that I should definitely do more research in this direction. I can already think of a few good places to begin. The first book of Peter Levenda's&nbsp;<i>Sinister Forces</i>&nbsp;trilogy, for instance, devotes a great many pages to some of the darker practices of our haunted continent's Pre-Columbian, First Nations cultures.<br /><br />Keep watching this space for more details.

Angelo Badalamenti's score, otherworldly and ethereal, plays over video showcasing the peculiar rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest intercut with industrial images of machines sharpening the teeth of other machines, with nary a human being in sight.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p2kdkWJch-A/WWwmmGFcIII/AAAAAAAAID8/LyP3Ad-Zi-UkxLpO7wsSCO_uosdYz9pgQCLcBGAs/s1600/vlcsnap-2017-07-16-12h34m17s072.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="576" height="312" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p2kdkWJch-A/WWwmmGFcIII/AAAAAAAAID8/LyP3Ad-Zi-UkxLpO7wsSCO_uosdYz9pgQCLcBGAs/s400/vlcsnap-2017-07-16-12h34m17s072.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />And as for the color scheme chosen for the titles... what even are those colors? An ugly, murky brown bordered by a vivid coniferous green, as best as I can make out. As Badalamenti’s score fades out it all makes for a rather intoxicating blend.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_59GLQMeDLk/WWwmq2kHu7I/AAAAAAAAIEA/S7m44aojAjs7nhQf3mUnzKNWmnaWpIzLwCLcBGAs/s1600/vlcsnap-2017-07-16-12h35m16s725.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="576" height="312" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_59GLQMeDLk/WWwmq2kHu7I/AAAAAAAAIEA/S7m44aojAjs7nhQf3mUnzKNWmnaWpIzLwCLcBGAs/s400/vlcsnap-2017-07-16-12h35m16s725.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />The sign on the outskirts of town, in the shadow of the titular (no pun intended) mountains, reads: “Welcome to Twin Peaks Population 31,201”.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ewuc-QuHsII/WWwmzO-kOUI/AAAAAAAAIEE/qUEjThpAih8tPxCHfPJ1IDmFZmPKSyikgCLcBGAs/s1600/vlcsnap-2017-07-16-12h34m45s109.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="576" height="312" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ewuc-QuHsII/WWwmzO-kOUI/AAAAAAAAIEE/qUEjThpAih8tPxCHfPJ1IDmFZmPKSyikgCLcBGAs/s400/vlcsnap-2017-07-16-12h34m45s109.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />With Laura Palmer dead, that brings the population to 31,200. 312 AD is the year Constantine converted to Christianity. In some esoteric traditions, 312 is considered to be an “angel number”, but I doubt this is of any meaningful significance in this case. Still, the idea that Laura is the town’s “plus one” sort of puts her outside of things. She stands, or stood, alone, not really part of the population, almost a vestigial member, wiggling away on the periphery, primed to fall away from the rest.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XcAzF6thhgU/WWwm8Jgez1I/AAAAAAAAIEI/LbDtrxSj4NIepLimCkcETNae_6RhfkXSACLcBGAs/s1600/vlcsnap-2017-07-16-12h35m46s610.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="576" height="312" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XcAzF6thhgU/WWwm8Jgez1I/AAAAAAAAIEI/LbDtrxSj4NIepLimCkcETNae_6RhfkXSACLcBGAs/s400/vlcsnap-2017-07-16-12h35m46s610.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />After a brief image of a waterside lodge, the first image we see is a close up of two stylized statuettes on sawmill owner Josie Packard’s desktop.

Later on, the more we learn about how Leo lives, there’s a certain verisimilitude to the squalor, what with having the washing machine out back behind the house and other such accouterments. It’s almost <i>too</i> real, and is part and parcel with Lynch’s obsession with small town folks being capable of the most profound amorality and extravagant decadence.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4qCUcSHlOfA/WWwn8PgtDNI/AAAAAAAAIEY/xwS6sWwq9VwZ8-vKHVLzSNoLWw3C94A2gCLcBGAs/s1600/vlcsnap-2017-07-16-13h22m23s957.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="576" height="312" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4qCUcSHlOfA/WWwn8PgtDNI/AAAAAAAAIEY/xwS6sWwq9VwZ8-vKHVLzSNoLWw3C94A2gCLcBGAs/s400/vlcsnap-2017-07-16-13h22m23s957.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />Like Leland Palmer, classmates James Hurley and Donna Edwards also seem to know before being told that something awful has happened to Laura.

In light of this incredible development yer old pal Jerky has decided to revisit the beloved, landmark television series (and the film) that spawned so many enduring trends and motifs that it has become one of the cultural lodestars by which we understand the 1990’s and beyond. <br /><br />At the time, the series launched numerous careers, became a cottage industry in itself, and exerted a profound influence on mass culture. Everything from Grunge Rock to <i>The X-Files</i> has some Twin Peaks DNA inside of it. But more importantly, it changed the way people take in popular culture, perhaps not creating but definitely bringing to the fore a sort of paranoid narrative style.<br /><br />This, I suspect, is an artifact of Frost reining in and diluting Lynch’s wild industrial surrealism just enough to make it palatable to the uninitiated entertainment consumer. That way, the show could appeal to the average viewer who was just looking for something different, while also leaving itself open to deeper levels of interpretation by the obsessive, Mystery School set. <br /><br />Succeeding at the former made the show a huge success. Succeeding at the latter made it into an enduring legend. For better or for worse, I think an argument could be made that the Twin Peaks phenomenon has had an effect on our culture that is only now--with the notoriously prophesied arrival of the third series some 25 years later--beginning to be understood. <br /><br />Here is how I am going to go about this public exercise. <br /><br />First, I’ll be commenting on one, two, or three episodes of the first two series per blog post. Then I will have a little something to say about <i>Fire Walk With Me</i>. After that, I will devote one blog post to every episode of series three (which is ongoing). <br /><br />Most of my blogs will consist of bare bones, maybe even point form, running commentary. I won’t be trying to solve any mysteries, or make any conclusions, beyond basic observation. At least, not as a general rule. <br /><br />For the time being, I will be severely limiting my intake of any Twin Peaks scholarship or analysis undertaken by others. You may see me get excited about finding some new clue or symbol that you already know about because it was mentioned on some other Twin Peaks website, or maybe you spotted it yourself, but please allow me any minor joy that my independent discoveries might bring, and, if you have a link to an article or blog post that builds upon my “discovery”, I would be grateful if you please included it in the comments section. <br /><br />I’ll also be trying to avoid pointing out symbols or connections that are too obvious, pedantic, or general, the art of symbology being so wide open as to be essentially meaningless if one doesn’t attempt to streamline its application to some degree.<br /><br />Watch for the first installment no later than tomorrow afternoon!Jerky LeBoeufhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06022293362312800819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667944064156340206.post-26764987522115470422017-06-27T08:48:00.001-07:002017-06-27T16:01:24.741-07:00NEW ON NETFLIX ~ BULLET REVIEWS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eLldw7HFcr8/WUDaKt28jsI/AAAAAAAAH8E/cK0mGznE1ZIHSHVogwUuQExeNdUA3xO9gCLcBGAs/s1600/000doc%2Bchic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="244" data-original-width="164" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eLldw7HFcr8/WUDaKt28jsI/AAAAAAAAH8E/cK0mGznE1ZIHSHVogwUuQExeNdUA3xO9gCLcBGAs/s400/000doc%2Bchic.jpg" width="268" /></a><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/--ixyLZygFDA/WUDaMAVA-RI/AAAAAAAAH8I/XF0DCQQpN-k4YjMtbDOuPahlnz1LA93vwCLcBGAs/s1600/00001docs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="321" data-original-width="214" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/--ixyLZygFDA/WUDaMAVA-RI/AAAAAAAAH8I/XF0DCQQpN-k4YjMtbDOuPahlnz1LA93vwCLcBGAs/s400/00001docs.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div><br /></div><b>THE HISTORY OF THE EAGLES / NOW MORE THAN EVER: THE HISTORY OF CHICAGO</b> ~ Over the last couple of weeks, I've spent a combined total of nearly six hours watching these documentaries about two of the most successful bands in the history of popular music: The Eagles and Chicago. Odd thing is, I didn't much care for either band prior to watching these in-depth, decades-spanning, warts-and-all explorations of their career highlights and lowlights... and now, after spending so much time with both bands, I&nbsp;<i>still</i>&nbsp;don't care for their music. At some point in both docs, the bathos gets to be a little difficult to swallow: "Waaah! We had too many hits! Waaah! The cocaine was too pure! Waaah! The groupies were too beautiful!"&nbsp;Both movies do an admirable job of chronicling the clash of monumental egos, the back-stabbing management shenanigans and record company rip-offs, and the obligatory late career comebacks, always suffused with a tinge of regret and, at the very least, one or two left-behinds who are unable to rise above the hard feelings generated by all the drug-fueled drama and chaos. But you can really see how much of what would turn out to be the worst parts of the 1980's were presaged by some of the seedier undercurrents in the popular culture of the 1970's. Before watching these, I'd seen the "Blue Jean Committee" episode of the Bill Haider/Fred Armisen parody series <i>Documentary Now</i> (IFC), and it turns out they were way more gentle and soft than they could have been. So, yeah... both these docs were a hard slog. But it could have been worse. It could have been <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8Gj9nOVfp8">a 4 hour documentary about Uriah Heep</a></b>.<br /><br /><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">*</span><span style="font-size: large;">*</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">*</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-evnFwMbNKGY/WUk2dwKJUfI/AAAAAAAAH9w/Ou0Z5GmMV6UyGJYcuXMUNIuQJljPt8-VACLcBGAs/s1600/sfsd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="327" data-original-width="580" height="225" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-evnFwMbNKGY/WUk2dwKJUfI/AAAAAAAAH9w/Ou0Z5GmMV6UyGJYcuXMUNIuQJljPt8-VACLcBGAs/s400/sfsd.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"></div></div></div><b><br /></b><b>It's So Easy and Other Lies</b> ~ Whoever convinced Duff McKagan that getting (kinda) sober, having two kids, and developing a mid-life obsession with martial arts is the stuff gripping biographies are made of... that person did the Guns and Roses/Velvet Revolver bassist a great disservice. I mean, the Duffster seems like kind of a nice guy and all, but this... this flick is an embarrassing enterprise on all fronts. From the idea of having Duff up on a stage, reading (slowly, haltingly) from his own recently published biography, to having him be surrounded by musicians providing a bed of cues and vamps that build towards what should be moments of great catharsis, only to have those moments be something utterly banal, like "we had another hit record!" Everything is so disconnected in tone that it leads us, the viewer, to feel completely alienated from Duff's life as he lived it. Actually, come to think of it, maybe that perfectly realized alienation makes <i>It's So Easy</i> the most true-to-life rock documentary ever made!<br /><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">*</span><span style="font-size: large;">*</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">*</span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YeIah9liu94/WUDamjHvh7I/AAAAAAAAH8M/RKhwsG0sLWErEvBwitRJ61kD3Ak6o82RwCLcBGAs/s1600/000003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="900" height="222" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YeIah9liu94/WUDamjHvh7I/AAAAAAAAH8M/RKhwsG0sLWErEvBwitRJ61kD3Ak6o82RwCLcBGAs/s400/000003.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><b>THE KEEPERS</b> ~ Ryan White's ridiculously complex, infuriating, and disturbing documentary series dares to stare deep into the heart of darkness for hour after life-sucking hour. He might as well have called this one&nbsp;<i>Trigger Warning: The Series</i>. I won't bother giving you the details. This is, after all, a bullet review. If you're partial to the wave of Scandinavian Noir books, movies, and TV shows that popped up in the wake of <i>The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo</i>, then you'll probably dig <i>The Keepers</i>. If you liked <i>Making of a Murderer</i>, you'll find White opening up a whole new bag of tricks for this outing. Either way, if you do decide to watch this, try to remember what Nietzsche said about staring into the abyss. Small bites... and maybe take a Jim Carey break between each episodes.

This most definitely turns out to be the case with <i>Is Genesis History?</i>, a competently produced but also profoundly dishonest attempt to frame the creation/evolution question as one of Deep Time orthodoxy versus the possibility of rapid Earth changes. The former is portrayed as Charles Darwin piling errors atop the foundation of 19th century geologist Charles Lyell's folly (Deep Time), while the latter is shown as being HIP! and FRESH! and backed by much beautifully photographed and convincingly argued (for the layperson) evidence. A brief perusal of online critiques of this film indicate that people who actually know what they're talking about find it even more offensive than just plain old activist atheists do... and we all know what a grumpy bunch THOSE guys are. Anyway, if you have no interest in checking out rebuttals afterward, I'd probably just skip this one. It's basically really well made Christian Fundamentalist propaganda... and who needs <i>that</i> in their lives?</div></div></div>Jerky LeBoeufhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06022293362312800819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667944064156340206.post-48961773925085176882017-06-27T08:04:00.001-07:002017-06-27T08:04:43.770-07:00COMING SOON!
